"If you don't already know Matthew Fairbrother, you should educate yourself. Fairbrother is one of the most impressive endurance athletes in mountain biking, and his adventures are, without fail, some of the most inspiring ones that you can witness, and Threads in the Dirt is no exception to that claim. Fairbrother's latest adventure is an attempt to ride Canada's entire Sea to Sky corridor in a single day."
"This isn't just about endurance. For me, the Sea to Sky has always felt like the birthplace of mountain biking; it's the place that shaped the sport I fell in love with on the other side of the world, says Fairbrother. This film is my way of giving something back, of tracing the lines that connect us all through the dirt."
"From sunrise to sunrise, over 30,000 feet of climbing and descending, and 200+ miles of distance, this is Matthew Fairbrother's homage to what the Sea to Sky area means to the MTB community. Distance: 332km (206 mi) Climbing: 10,250m (33,628 ft) Time: 23 Hours, 48 Minutes Elapsed, 22 Hours 15 minutes Moving Locations: Pemberton → Whistler → Squamish → North Vancouver. The idea for this project stemmed from Fairbrother's desire to see and experience this area."
